Leather & Canvas Purse (Project 20)

Yup, I made a purse using leather. I was nervous because I caved and bought myself a pricey piece of gray deerskin (it was so soft and buttery). Throughout the entire project, I kept thinking to myself: Grace, don't mess up!

I followed the class instructions/measurements to a T and ended up with a very long bag. It was so long that the bag stopped close to my knees when I wore it, so I had to shorten the canvas part to a more reasonable, less comical length.
